Design Brief

It’s time to show your department’s spirit with 3D Printing!

MyMiniFactory and MAMSS (McGill Additive Manufacturing Students' Society) from McGill University have teamed up to bring you another exciting design challenge.

For this design challenge, you must design an object that represents your university or college department.

Don’t think too hard- it could be Architecture, Arts, Business studies, Biology, History, Computer Science or Engineering - whatever you study! And once you’ve got the department, think of an object that represents it. A globe for geography? or maybe an interactive periodic table for Chemistry?

Use your CAD and 3D printing skills to be as creative or conservative as you want and we will print out the best models for you. But as always, bonus points for originality.


Upload Essentials

Before you upload your design, make sure:

  • Your design is printable on an FDM 3D printer
  • Your design is no bigger than 200x200x200mm
  • Enter the name of your university and department in your object description. We will verify this upon completion of the challenge

    • We have an incredible prize exclusively for Mcgill students and an amazing prize for the public. Just make sure to specify what you study in the description of your object! We also have some great prizes for the runner-ups.


    Good luck!
